I just can't picture him in plaid pants.<BR/><BR/>Random Person: If there was one thing I learned from "Days of Wine and Roses", it's this... never hide booze in a greenhouse.<BR/><BR/>Ivanhoe: There are some many funny moments from the "Naked Gun" films that it's hard to narrow down. One of my favorites is when Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) is undercover as an umpire at a MLB game. <BR/><BR/>Brenda: "Murder My Sweet" is one of the all-time great film noirs. I don't think you'll be disappointed.<BR/><BR/>Nissa: Thank you! I've got a song from the soundtrack to "Claudine" playing in my head now. <BR/><BR/>Calliope: I've seen some of the movies in "The Thin Man" series and have really enjoyed them. William Powell and Myrna Loy worked really well together. TCM did a block of "Thin Man" films recently... I hope they do it again soon.<BR/><BR/>Beckeye: I have loved old movies ever since I was a kid. :-) I have some fond memories of watching "Bill Kennedy At the Movies" on Ch 50 out of Detroit.<BR/><BR/>About a month or so ago, TCM showed "Waterloo Bridge" one night. I had it on in the background while I was on my PC. The next time I catch it, I'll make a point to pay closer attention.<BR/><BR/>Xakara: When I was putting together this list, I realized that I haven't watched some of these in awhile. If I ever do a T13 of favorite TV/movie couples, it will be hard to leave Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon off the list.<BR/><BR/>Holly: You might be able to NetFlix "Police Squad: The Complete Series" (that's assuming you are a NetFlix member). The show was laugh track-free and didn't need one. If it did use one it would have been continuous because of all the rapid fire jokes, puns, and sight gags.<BR/><BR/>Denise: I had forgotten about that scene where Elle tricked that guy on the witness stand. That was good!<BR/><BR/>Alice: Thanks<BR/><BR/>Toni: I do the same thing. A commercial for an upcoming movie will come on and I will say I want to see it. Of course, I rarely do.<BR/><BR/>Pussreboots: There are lots that I would like to own on DVD, but little things like food and bills prevent me from doing so.<BR/><BR/>Hazel: Your comment about peeking through your fingers made me laugh because the guy who lost his in "Bound" wouldn't have that luxury anymore. My sense of humor can be a bit twisted. :-)<BR/><BR/>Roache: One of these days I am going to have a "Police Squad"/"Naked Gun" trilogy marathon.<BR/><BR/>Jenn: There are a few scenes in "Bound" that might make one turn their head. I am now curious as to which one(s) made you turn away. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting!Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-5211345933973440532008-05-02T08:15:00.000-04:002008-05-02T08:15:00.000-04:00Great idea for a T 13 !

They only made 6 episodes, all of them hilarious.<BR/><BR/>Chelle: Have you seen any of the others on the list?<BR/><BR/>Nicholas: Thank you! I have been meaning to see the remake of "All the King's Men" for comparisons' sake.<BR/><BR/>SJ and Sandee: Thanks<BR/><BR/>Susan: I appreciate that. If my name was Mark, this never would have worked, lol.<BR/><BR/>Pjazzy: I almost included Sadie's "Are you! Are you! Are you!..." line in this post. She was hard as nails wasn't she?<BR/><BR/>The Gal Herself: One of the reasons I like All the King's Men, Days of Wine & Roses and Out of the Past is because they didn't give us the nice and neat Hollywood ending. I had another "L" picked out (the 1944 classic "Laura"), but decided to go with "Legally Blonde" instead. <BR/><BR/>Sandy: If you check out "Claudine" and think to do so, feel free to stop back by and let me know what you thought of it.<BR/><BR/>O.G. Claudia: I have been known to have my Blair Warneresque moments and come up with a "brilliant idea" from time to time.<BR/><BR/>Janet: I see that you also have eclectic tastes in movies. When "Claudine" finally came to DVD a few years ago, I was lucky enough to get a free copy from my place of employment. James Earl Jones, Diahann Carroll, and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs do the commentary on it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting me know about the lyrics meme quiz. If another answer comes to me, I will stop back over. <BR/><BR/>Journeywoman and Christopher: I love the cover art for "Lean On Me" that shows Morgan Freeman getting in the grill of one of the students.<BR/><BR/>Jay: I get pissed when I think of all the TV shows that are just gathering dust in a vault somewhere. About a month ago, I found another treasure from TV's past: "Man With A Camera: The Complete Series". It was a 1958-1960 crime drama that feat. Charles Bronson as a freelance photographer. <BR/><BR/>Meju: Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Bethany: Thanks for stopping by. One of the reasons I decided to put "Legally Blonde" on my T13 is I figured that if someone saw only one movie on the list, that might be the one.<BR/><BR/>Dane: It's a shame that the soundtrack to "Claudine" is out of print. That's one of the best movie soundtracks of all-time in my opinion.<BR/><BR/>Lori: It's just so hard to keep up with all the good DVDs that are out there isn't it?Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498798416841063155.post-14611307373258037032008-05-01T00:23:00.000-04:002008-05-01T00:23:00.000-04:00I havent seen the majority of them.
